FlagWalk is about peace and friendship

Another call from Annette. Am I sitting down? (she is laughing at this point) Who is left to be offended now? An Indonesian Trade Official has called wondering why they are NOT on the sidewalk and how can they be included. We laughed and asked how quickly they could qualify a bobsled team!

I don’t know where we are going to end up with all this. We figure we should go work for the UN! I must confess that there are moments when we start to feel a little beat up and disillusioned. Between thefts and requests for removal we won’t have any countries left on the FlagWalk by the time the Opening Ceremonies start! We hope to add a new round of decals in early January to celebrate the most recent qualifying countries and will do our best to navigate the sense and sensibility minefield we find ourselves in.



FlagWalk is about peace and friendship – nothing more... nothing less. Hopefully those aspirations will prevail.

I will keep you posted as to how we are doing.
